Thinking of a 355 Spider
Discussion
Hi Guys,
This morning I had the pleasure of seeing (and hearing!) a red 355 spider scream past me (unfortunately I was not in the Cerb as it is at the Garage!). Must say it looked and sounded awesome (on a par with a decatted Cerb 4.5)! Anyway it has got me thinking about adding one of these beasts to the garage. I would be looking at getting one in the winter (better prices and time to sort out finances). I have had a look at a few posts regarding ownership of these cars and in particular running one concurrently with the TVR (Frostie?). How does the 355 compare to a Cerb in terms of servicing (costs, frequency) and general running costs. Also insurance (am 26, but will be 27). Getting rid of the Cerb is not an option as I am smitten.
General advice I have encountered are: avoid the F1, Full service History, Expert inspection prior to buying.
Any other comments an advice would b welcome.
P.S would be looking at a P-Plate i.e 40-50k?
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Exactly what I'm doing after reading your post Derestrictor! You sure would make a good salesman. Just the thought of a Cerb and Ferrari on the drive
! Like I said it wouldn't be until the winter (possibly a birthday treat in January) that I would contemplate getting one. This will give me time to investigate further (have had no experience whatsoever with Ferraris) and work that little bit harder (sort out finances).
Basher, saw the 355 in South Bank/Eston area of Middlesbrough about 12-1ish.
